Your homework in two parts: prepare to read #31 the same way you prepare any poem (read the English introduction, underline verbs, try to identify chunks — prepositional phrases, relative clauses, dependent clauses — and so on); and write down answers for the following questions:
- What case is ocelle on line 2? What other word in the first two lines can be in this same case?
- Fert is the verb inside of the quascumque clause. What is the infinitive to this verb? Who is the subject?
- The first period is at the end of line 6. (There is an appositive phrase, a relative clause, and a participial phrase among other things!) What is the main verb in this sentence?
- What’s going on with beatius on line 7?
- With what is solutis agreeing on line 7?
- What is fessi modifying on line 9?
- Why is laboribus tantis ablative on line 11?
- What form is gaude on line 12? What form is gaudente on line 13?
- Undae is the vocative plural paired with ridete. What case and function are lucidae? What about lacus?
I will not collect these answers on Wednesday, but I will take a look at the beginning of class and ask folks to share.
